when will those impossible to get tix go on sale?

sufjan only did 3 shows. what an ego trip after selling 2 bowery shows out so fast. think this'll sell out? will conor wear wings?

bright eyes is so annoyingly bad. 7 Nights....annoying and unneeded.

Random Bright Eyes bashing is so fall 2004… come up with an original thought or zip it.

turnaround bright eyes

I may not like his music, but DAMN I applaud any indie band having the chutzpah to play (and probably sell out) multiple nights at the same venue. Could CYHSY sell out 7 nights at Town Hall? I think not!!!

erin's comment is so annoying and unneeded

The shows will sell out. Maybe not in 10 minutes like the Bowery shoes. But Conor has the kind of fans who will buy a ticket for each night.

Personally, I don't love Town Hall (too impersonal) so I'm not even sure it will be worth it, although I am a fan.

considering how rabid his fans are, i wouldn't be surprised if these sell out with just the same people going to all seven shows.

i don't really get the love though. he's not bad, just really, really irritating.

from saddle creek...
"Bright Eyes has a US tour planned for April 22 through June 1! Pre-sale tickets for all shows will go on sale this Saturday, March 10. Check here for pre-sale ticket information. The general public on-sales for most shows will be on March 17. Stay tuned to the saddle creek tours page for updates and ticket links."

The 'here' link is to www.thisisbrighteyes.com

looks like gillian welch will be the opener for all the shows according to the saddle creek website.

i just saw him last night at the 9:30 for the first time. im quite excited about seeing him in NYC...possibly twice more if all goes well :P

No Philadelphia!!!!

Whatevs, Conor

uhh theres 7 nyc shows.. philly just got relocated!

I've heard about him...lol well I'd hope I woudl have by now...anyway...And sort of listened to him, hes OKAY and nothing more, IMO. Can he really sell out 7 shows? That seems highly impossible.

I saw this morning on Webster Hall's website that the official on-sale is Friday, March 16th at noon for all the Town Hall dates. I'm assuming on Ticketmaster.

emailed SC and his booking agent, irate over the philly snub -- actually received replies fairly promptly:

SC: philly didn't work date-wise (seriously!??)

booking: vague answer about Conor having asked to avoid all LiveNation venues (which leaves almost ALL philly venues, by my count)

both hint at a possible show after this tour, which the main indie promoter in philly (R5) also alluded to.

so I guess I'll see you guys up there; real question now is which night? (first, mid-point, last... think I saw the 2nd of the 5 nights at Webster in '05.)

Which vendor are the Bright Eyes tickets being sold through for the pre-sale on March 10?

dont waste your time blabbing about how much you dont like conors music. everybody has different opinions, and i am disappointed with negative ones.

he sold out five dates at town hall in jan. '05, five dates at webster in may '05. of course all seven will sell out.

I can't find any information other than what's here on the presale. What site are the tickets being sold at on March 10? Is there a password? I missed out on the last New York show and I need to find tickets for one of the 7 lol. Any information helps.

i believe it was only two nights at town hall in jan '05. pretty certain of that. and i remember buying my tix for one of the nights about a week or so before the show so it took a while to sell out back then.

Does anybody know the password for the presale? thanks!

the email said "brakeman" for the password but it doesnt seem to be working...

nevermind, it said 12pm westcoast time, 3pm eastern

What site can you purchase tickets from???

wow, only Milwaukee is available, at present -- WTF?

3:10 site is down. the pw indeed worked, albeit from 3:05 - 3:10.

Anybody see Town Hall yet?

I got the same thing...the minute the password started working I got in, but only Mikwaukee was on the screen...lets see how long it takes them to fix the site...don't you just lurve presales :)

this was just posted:

We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please check back at 2pm PST. Nothing will go on sale until then, we apologize for the delay but need to make sure there are no mistakes before you start to purchase tickets. Very sorry and we appreciate your patience!

does anyone know how much these will cost?

delayed again till tomorrow, fucking presales suck.

We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please check back at 12:00pm PST (West Coast), Sunday, March 11, 2007.

These guys really have there act together. Their last presale (Bowery Show) was the biggest nightmare I've ever experienced. You kept entering the password and nothing happenned, turns out it was the wrong link, they had wrong URL for the presale and no password was needed. Then I finally figure out what was going on was able to order tix, they waited till 5 days before the show to mail out tickets. I got mine 36 hours before the show. They're a bunch of stoned 23yr olds trying to run a business. Conor should have stuck with ducatking.

For those of you who don't know presale tickets are mailed 99% of the time a week or at least two days before the show. I don't really understand the point of that, but I've always received my tickets on time. Maybe it is to stop scammers. Whatever the reaosn is, be thankful there is even one.

trying and failing...anyone?

me too

got through...but apparently none of the nyc dates are included in the presale, or i'm just blind.

town hall is not up yet. anyone else?

nah i dont see any ny dates either.

i got in but town hall isnt up

The only tix on sale are Milwaukee to Tampa, mid May. No NYC shows.
weird.

I got through...no nyc..are they included in the presale?????

sux.

tickets.thisisfuckingretarded.com

how lame is this? No Town Hall yet!

This is Bush League!

what nites are you guys looking to go?

5/26 & 6/1

5/29

They could have at least let us know that Town Hall wouldn't be included so that we didn't have to waste our time....2 days in a row!

was Town Hall supposed to be included in the pre-sale?

I just assumed that it would be all of the dates on the tour. Why wouldn't it be? Although Town Hall is not the only place not showing up. Anything after 5/16 is unavailable.

they should've just put the town hall presale at it's own time so it would'nt be bothered with all the other traffic to the site.

would think they would know better, especially after yesterday's fiasco.

and i bet over half of the traffic there is for these town hall dates.

Word!

what a disaster this is!

Send your disappointed emails to tickets@thisisbrighteyes.com.
I told them that they owe NY fans an apology, at the very least. This has been two hours of my weekend already.

does anyone have a clue what's going on here? how long are you going to wait?

you can also send disgruntled emails to info@ravenhouseltd.com
the're upposedly handling the presale questions.

FYI....Omaha sold out.

well, fuck omaha.

It's going to be pushed again, probably. What do no Bright Eyes fans have jobs? I do!

they just added a 5/17 show. maybe we will get tickets today... err.

no jobs and no lives, i guess that's what they think of us - sacrifice all for Bright Eyes

hmm, i don't get the 17th show. and i resigned in and everything

oh there it is.

I noticed that they just added the Orlando show.

http://tickets.thisisbrighteyes.com/collections/all-tickets

may 13 austin show just added

may 18 atlanta just added

Has there been any message saying Town Hall dates won't be included? Or are we just going by the fact they're not there? I agree 100% with whoever say the NY fans deserve an apology. I've been checking the site every half hour or so to see if anything changed.

they haven't been communicating with anyone at all, and never said Town Hall wouldn't be included. but since shows keep getting added, the Town Hall dates could possibly go up later tonight.

I have been on and off the computer/site and still no NY Tix listed. I just want to know if I should give up yet. I would hate to walk away after all this time in only to find out they posted!!!

What is it with this cheap as shit budget ticket selling website? I'm no lover of ticketmaster and all of them, but, jeez, at least they work. I think I would rather pay a higher fee and have it take 5 minutes, rather than waste my weekend popping on and off the internet for this thing. Note to Conor: its not all about you - spend a few bucks and do it right.

Someone try to convince me to just wait it out for the sale with the "regular" people next week! Ticketmaster fees look like a good deal at this point...bring on the overcharges and give me back the lost hours of my life! LOL

I just passed an incensed straightforward email to info@ravenshouseltd. Everyone on this site should do the same. Let them know how unacceptable this behavior (and lack of information) has been.

I sent said emails too. Many of them! They deserve a little shakin up!
www.musicmattersman.blogspot.com

Good idea about the complaints. The pre sale website also gives this address: tickets@thisisbrighteyes.com

Keep the complaints rolling in to those two sites. Hopefully B.E. management will take our side, fix the problem, and ensure we get our presale before the 17th.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #1: Dude, this new bud is the shit.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #2: Absolutely. I haven't been this high since Conor played in Cali, and his fans hooked our shit up.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #1: He played Cali this week.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #2: Exactly.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #1: I'm just pumped we got the presale up after yesterdays nightmare, I was like totally stressed.

Thisbrighteyes.com employee #2: Word.... Dude, did you know anything about Conor playing NY again? We're like getting bombarded about some "town hall" thing via the electronic mail. Peeps are going on about 7 shows in May.

Thisbrighteyes.com employee #1: Dude they're pulling your pud. Town Hall's a venue that holds like 1200 people, Conor wouldn't do 7 nights there. Pleeeese. Now stop bogarting the bong and relax my brother.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #2: But I like it when they pull my pud. Saves me the trouble.

Thisisbrighteyes.com employee #1: More complaints are coming in. I can't take the stress. Enough already. And I thought cleaning the swedish meatball plates at the Ikea restaurant tied my stomach in knots.

Thisisbrightyese.com employee#2 Agreed. This is too much, being mocked like this. Conor should write a song about our miserable lives. Lets fuck up a few more of the presales. First New York, now, THE WORLD

anyone get a response about when theyre going up??

i got some responses from both mngt and the company hosting the presale (shopify.com) over the wknd but neither were really of that much help. The guy at shopify that was emailing me was saying he knew of no problems... ha. then i emailed him the 40 page+ thread of complaints from the saddle creek board and no response...

I have alrady spent so much time looking into buying these tickets. It is really frustrating and makes me angry!

The presale for Town Hall is up and running.

Town Hall presale is up.

i cannot believe this. did anyone get any feedback as to when they were going to put them up ?

nope, just checked it when i got to work around 845, and they were all up. no warning or advance notice.

saturday 6/1 sold out already.
how do you know where your seats are?

i can't even get the page to load.

i got tickets for 2 of the shows, neither had any indication where the seats are. but theyre getting mailed soon, so just have to wait till then i guess.

i believe the tix are assigned according to what time you placed your order. whether it means good seats i guess is up to the powers that be. hopefully it means that the best seats will go through the presale.

also, i think the tickets will be mailed 2 weeks before the show, so i wouldn't count on them being mailed out any time soon...

The page hasn't loaded all day for me.
Anyone else with this problem?

I checked the site at 1:45am and saw that the NYC presale was up and running.

Just curious if anyone knows when it went up? Did anyone see it up prior to that time?

works fine for me, has been all day. only mon, tues and wed left.

noticed it at around 845, and they were all still available, so couldnt have been up for too long then.

oops, i thought you meant 1145 this morning not 145 last night. i noticed early this morning..

do you think its still possible to get tix for the last nite 'regular' sale?

Anybody have any insight as to how we find out where the hell our tickets are? Kinda weird that we'll get the tix a few days before the show and then find out where they are. What if they suck, we'll have no time to find alternatives.

I've been bitching about their presale and website all week, but I have to give props for ULTRA LOW (non-existent) fees. These will be significantly more expensive on TM.

I have a feeling theyre not gonna answer any e-mails for quite some time since theyre probably getting a million of them - and telling people where their seats are would be at the bottom of their priorities at this point. give it a week, week and a half, then email and ask. seems like a good idea.

I am going to see BE 31th in Amsterdam, does someone have the playlist of the last gigs?

UGH sold out already this is ridiculous.. they didnt even say when new york tickets were coming out

why do some of the shows say sold out and some say presale is sold out. does that mean some ONLY had presale?

why do some of the shows say sold out and some say presale is sold out. does that mean some ONLY had presale?

why do some of the shows say sold out and some say presale is sold out. does that mean some ONLY had presale?

only a certain amount were released for the presale, none of the shows are completely sold out, just the set amount of presale tickets. the regular on sale hasnt even happened yet. no worries. well, some worries, but ya know.

This really annoys me that there was no notice before these went up. I was at work, got home at 4-ish, looked on the site, and EVERYTHING was sold out. If they weren't planning to put all the tickets up at once, they should have said so. They really screwed a lot of NY fans over.

i love people who complain about presales.. its a favor to fans in the first place - no crazyily expensive fees, and good seats. if you missed it, oh well. got them, you got lucky. relax. in case no ones heard, tickets go on sale saturday.

Anonymous, what are you talking about? "I love people who complain about presales"... haha. Yes, the pre sale is a favor to fans. But, handling it poorly sucks. Treating your fans unfairly by stringing them along for days with no notice or poor notice as to what is going on...sucks. And, selling presale tickets with no choice as to the seats and whether to accept or reject them, sucks. This presale was handled poorly from beginning to end.

Hey..its like...if I agree to pick up a friend at the airport and I show up, its great. If I offer to pick him up and then don't show, and make him wait with the suitcase out in the rain for 2 hours, calling me on his cell, wondering whether I'll show or if he should bag it and take a taxi...well, that sucks. And that's what happened here.

What time did his flight arrive?

so, i missed the presale.

and i keep seeing two different on sale dates.

is it the 16th or the 17th?

i dont think that all seven shows will sell out in a day but i dont want to take any chances either.

i can't believe that just last year i saw them in jersey city and got my tickets no problem the week before the show. they didn't sell out until the day of.

Hey, does anyone know where and when the official sale starts for NY? Still not on Ticketmaster!

Does anyone know when and where the official sale will start for NY tickets? Still not on Ticketmaster, although Town Hall's Box Office recording says Ticketmaster will have them.

It's a bowery presents show. There is info up here:

http://www.bowerypresents.com/calendar/calendar_200705.html

thank you sooo much. good luck to everyone on march 17!

thank you sooo much. good luck to everyone on march 17!

thank you sooo much. good luck to everyone on march 17!

so anyone know why the thisisbrighteyes.com site says tickets go on sale at 10? Its a link to ticketmaster which starts at 12... even if it were pacific time it'd be off. unless it's mountain time, but why the hell would they have that and not label it?

tickets are onsale now.

Thisisbrighteyes.com always posts misinformation.

I got good seats in row d in the orchestra for the last night...i wonder how long it will take for all the shows to sell out.

i'm actually pretty happy now that i just gave up on the pre-sale since town hall has started doing ticketfast and you dont have to worry about where and when you are getting the tickets.

GROWL!!!!
